i yearn for the love i never had i never felt
the love that saves and conquers

for the words that are often left unspoken
out of fear of getting heartbroken

i yearn for the days where my soul is lifted
and darkness been sifted

i was wrong
when i looked for love
and built homes in the hearts of those
who were never taught how to love

i yearn for a love so fierce so strong
it burns down cities they become undone

those soft brown eyes of yours
are yearning for light for hope

for the times when you look up & the stars align
and your smile is genuine, your heart is full

i yearn for it all for the love & the hope
for the laughs & the talks

for knowing it’ll be alright
